is this recent?

is this recent?

Yeah, I think she took it in February?

[Jake.]

she looks really good

[Jake.]

I was thinking about how the whole 'Sheezus' era could have been done differently had she of had more creative control. It was clear from her demos that she could have had an album matching 'INMIY' in terms of quality... My ideal tracklist (not including deluxe) probably would have been:

1. My Town (replacing Sheezus, could have been a great opener/same kind of message as Sheezus without the try-hardedness)
2. L8 Cmmr (good enough song as it stands)
3. Age of Beige (replacing Air Ballon, ironic really given how AoB is about dull music with no real meaning)
4. Our Time (Great song, could have performed better had it not of been for Air Ballon)
5. Insincerely Yours
6. Take My Place
7. I Was Born in the 80's (replacing As Long as I Got You, because did we really need a downgrade of Not Fair?)
8. Miss a Thing (replacing Close Your Eyes, it'd have to have work done but yeah, a great demo)
9. URL Badman (obviously wouldn't be going anywhere)
10. I Don't Mind Babe (replacing Silver Spoon, another which tragically wasn't included for this rubbish)
11. Stop Right There (replacing Life for Me which is nice enough but this is ultimately better)
12. Falling Over Myself (added another track bringing it up to 13, I know it was written and recorded for that Bridget Jones musical which never happened but with some lyrical tweeks it would have been a catchy edition)
13. Hard Out Here

No idea what the album would be called instead... 'Miss a Thing' maybe?

[Samm]

Don't come for Sliver Spoon

I like the playlist tho, but I didn't even mind Air Balloon either I liked it, it was only As Long As I Got You that was a bit meh I guess, she should of released Insincerely Yours instead

[Jake.]

Insincerely Yours would have been a great choice for sure.. HOH followed by Our Time, Insincerely Yours and URL Badman >>

Air Ballon is literally 3 minutes of nothingness though, how they could have followed the lead single (with it's really loud, strong message) with that I'll never know

If only Age of Beige had been her comeback single :flutter: gives me strong INMIY vibes

Hope this stuff gets released this year, also she deleted all of her posts off insta a few weeks ago as well hmm

[Cal.]

She needs to get a non-gross weave and give us new material.

[Jake.]

She had a massive rant about grime music the other day and I couldn't have agreed more


Lily Allen has called Skepta, JME and Stormzy a 'direct threat to music industry figures'.

Responding to an article by the Guardian about the lack of black British music talent represented in the BRITs shortlists, the pop star gave her theory as to why there is so little diversity and no recognition in this year's nominations.

According to the Mirror, Allen wrote on her Facebook page: "The voting academy consists of 1000 music industry figures, and here lies the problem, music industry figures don't necessarily care about music, they mostly care about themselves, they vote tactically for their labels artists to win or so that their competitors at other labels DONT [sic]."

She continued: "Awards mean £££ and promotions. I don't think music industry figures (or people that work at major labels) even look at artists as artists when it comes to voting for these things, the artists represent their teams their a+r people, managers, mds, pluggers etc."


Speaking about Skepta, JME and Stormzy - all prominent figures in the rebirth of grime - she said: "[They] are all unsigned artists, who would gain from them winning anything? In fact them being nominated or even winning poses a direct threat to 'music industry figures'. Imagine Skepta or Stormzy won, who would they thank in their speeches, who's ego would get massaged?"

both true

but then again it was all just a joke how the 6 demos didn't make the final cut yet Air Balloon did so

[Firewire]

That was her label though wasn't it

Didn't she call them out for ruining the era

[Pete.]

Air Balloon :love:

[Cal.]

Next album is either to be called The Fourth Wall or The 4th Wall

Here for The Fourth Wall :clap1:

[Jordan.]

Air Balloon :love:

agree it's qt

[Jake.]

That was her label though wasn't it

Didn't she call them out for ruining the era

yeah, the album would have sounded a lot different otherwise, it's a shame

i'm not even denying Air Balloon isn't catchy, it's just the principle of it

[Jake.]

she's opened up about being stalked for 7 years

http://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/apr/16/lily-allen-stalked-singer-police

[Jordan.]

Allen was awoken in the early hours by a terrific banging on the wall. “I sat up and looked and the door handle was twisting round.

“This guy came steaming in and I didn’t know who he was. I recoiled and he ripped the duvet off, calling me a ‘****ing bitch’ and yelling about where his dad is.”

Omg :worry:

[Smithy]

**** sake jake leave her alone :bored:

[Samm]

Scary :worry:

[_Tom_]

That's horrifying! The police need to respond much more effectively and actually take stalker cases seriously!

[Tom4784]

It just goes to show that the police needs to take these issues more seriously. I hope that the stalker faces justice but I also hope he gets help for his problems. I doubt he would have done anything like that if he was in the right state of mind.

[Jake.]

It has made front page news, hopefully it raises awareness

[Samm]

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/36085242?client=safari#

She's on newsnight tonight at 10:30 talking about her problems with stalking and raising its awareness, I hope she's on first I don't want to sit through it till the end

[Jake.]

She feels victim shamed over the case by police

Link includes a video of her reading out what was sent to her by the met police: "After the interview, the mother-of-two said she received an email from a Met officer wanting to "understand what - if anything - went wrong during the investigation" while suggesting Allen's response would dissuade other victims from reporting stalkers."

Looking good on TV yesterday, however she's without a wedding ring again :worry:

[Jake.]

If you've ever looked at her Twitter, she definitely didn't vote out :joker:

[Jake.]

Lily Allen's new songs are "some of the best she's written", producer Mark Ronson has said.

Ronson previously collaborated with Allen on her 2006 single 'Littlest Things' and a cover of Kaiser Chiefs' 'Oh My God' that became a Top Ten hit the following year.

He has now revealed that he is working with Allen again on her follow-up to 2014's 'Sheezus' album, which despite reaching Number One was less successful critically and commercially than her previous LPs, 2006's 'Alright, Still' and 2009's 'It's Not Me, It's You'.

"We've been writing together again on the new record," Ronson told The Sun. "I feel like they are some of the best songs she's written. Her voice sounds incredible. The stuff I'm working on is some of her most honest and heartbreaking music ever. She writes so honestly you can feel it."

Ronson also said of Allen, who pulled out of this weekend's Glastonbury Festival with a knee injury: "She's like a needed performer. There's nobody really doing **** like that, really honest."

Meanwhile, Allen has been sharing her views on the fall-out from Brexit this morning, branding Prime Minister David Cameron "reckless" in his handling of last week's historic EU Referendum.

Yeah it's from sheezus, they have another song by her, a ballad about when she gave birth but they said it's too personal to leak
